RDPi is an incredible tool. Whether it's something new like the Screen and Report Designers or something as standard as the LPEX editor, there's almost no part of programming where RDPi won't make your life a little easier. And that's just from day one after installing the tool. However, as powerful as RDPi is, it still has room for some personalization, the kind of tweaks that can make the tool as comfortable as your favorite chair.

For decades, in i5/OS (aka OS/400, iSeries, or IBM i), there has been a lack of free, powerful, and easy-to-use software configuration management (SCM) tools for i5/OS programmers working on green-screens. Now, it's the time to change this condition.
